Light Barrier

Chapter 688

The Gu family's temporary base is now heavily guarded.

Since the "second explosion", the "containment type" sealed objects have been urgently strengthened outside the iron wall to prevent another accident... and the place with the most intensive patrols now is the temporary ward built for the ghosts.

"He has been unconscious since the explosion."

Mr. Xue said: "The impact of the fragments of the sky sheath is very powerful. If the Gu family's night watchman hadn't blocked it for him... then he would have been dead."

Gu Shen stood in front of the bed and looked at the pale Xing Yun.

His mental power slowly flowed through Xing Yun's body, checking the latter's injuries.

Because of the characteristics of the sky sheath.

The surge of extraordinary energy in this guy is so weak that it is difficult to detect... As mentioned before, he will lose his "extraordinary ability" for a long time in the future, but the greatest luck is that he has retained life.

Looking at the unconscious man on the hospital bed, Gu Shen's eyes were a little complicated.

According to my previous guess——

The giant carrying the "fire" is probably just an apostle who has received a great gift of divine power, and is not the traveler himself.

The "real purpose" of that big guy coming to this world cannot be explored after his body dies... No one can read its true spirit from such a top-level life form, not even Her Majesty the Queen. You can only see what it sees, not what it thinks.

If it's not a traveler, then who is?

He used the blazing fire to carefully feel the spirit of the Tsuka ghost... Previously, he could still see the spirit sea of ​​the Tsuka ghost, but now the fragments of the scabbard directly "purified" him.

Tsukauki's mind was clean and empty, like an ordinary person who had never unlocked his extraordinary power.

He saw nothing.

"How long will this situation last?" Gu Shen asked.

"He may sleep for several days... You are also a psychic transcendent. You should know how dangerous and serious it is to have direct contact with the sky sheath." Mr. Xue was silent for a moment and said: "The medical treatment at the temporary base Our abilities are limited, we can only guarantee that Tsukauki will wake up, but we cannot guarantee that his mental strength will be able to maintain the previous level."@@@@

This guy has the attribute of "vehicle killer".

After falling asleep, he was destined to receive treatment at the Gu family's temporary base.

After this incident, Gu Nanfeng had invited the best medical doctors in Nagano to set off overnight and rushed to Xuelong——

The ancient text of "Heavenly Sheath" needs to be deciphered by Tsukauki!

The Gu family will do their best to treat him!

"I see."

Gu Shen nodded. The encirclement and suppression plan had not yet begun. As one of the eight leaders of this plan, he only needed to accept Mr. Gu's "order". Before the official battle began, he decided to stay in the snow cage and wait for the tomb. The ghost awakens.

He had a lot to say to Tsukauki.

...

...

A training room was prepared for Gu Shen in the temporary base.

This place is also thoughtfully equipped with the "simulated battle cabin" newly developed by the Beizhou Underground Research Institute, but Gu Shen's mind is not on cultivation. He always feels that the secondary explosion of the sky sheath is a bit weird.

"Everything must have its cause, but I really can't figure out what caused the second explosion of the Sky Sheath."

Gu Shen's spirit entered the deep water area, and a burst of codes condensed. He came to Ling Ling Yao and sighed in distress.

At this moment, Chu Ling was sitting cross-legged, three feet above the ground, floating in the air in the carriage, with his hair full of waterfalls, like seaweed swaying on the bottom of the sea.

"Crash..."

Billions of data spread at her fingertips, converging into hundreds of screens. This is what the source code computing power looks like, running at full capacity.

Chu Ling's eyes wandered across countless screens, as if he had read thousands of lines of messages in one second.

In fact, the "eye scanning" action has no meaning. It is like a loading cutscene. The deep water area is deeply linked to her spirit. Even if she closes her eyes, she can "quickly read" the data.

While processing the data, she responded softly: "You are right, everything must have a reason... So when you eliminate all impossible options, the remaining one, no matter how ridiculous, must be the truth '."

"Exclude all impossible options..."

Gu Shen stood in the carriage in a daze.

An "object" of the caliber of a sky scabbard cannot even shake the giant that is suspected of being a traveler. How could it successfully produce a secondary explosion?

"It is actually not difficult to explore the truth of this incident."

Chu Ling's voice slowly sounded: "First of all, do you think that the explosion of the sky sheath was because it was too old and a long reaction occurred inside the stone shell, resulting in the explosion, or because... someone triggered it? "

"I think it's the latter."

Gu Shen only thought for a second before giving his answer.

It's been less than a year since he drew his sword.

This can no longer be described as "coincidence".

He believes that this is most likely a "calling"...

"Put aside your identity, what kind of person do you think is qualified to 'invite' Tianshe?" Chu Ling continued to ask.

"If you want to summon and produce such an explosion, you need to have at least 'fire level' power." Gu Shen frowned, "At least you have to be an apostle, and an apostle under the 'god's presence' situation."

In the presence of God, the apostle can burst out unparalleled terrifying divine power in a few short moments——

If we really want to screen out "suspicious people", then all the apostles of God in the five continents must not be let go.

Theoretically, they all have the power to cause such visions!

"So, is it here?"

Chu Ling continued to ask.

"here......"

Gu Shen fell into a brief thought.

If it was three years ago, it would not be impossible for the apostles to cause chaos in Tianshe.

Today, it is impossible.

Dongzhou is the land where Douzhan shelters!

Once the apostles who carry the "will of the alien throne" set foot on this land, they will be captured by Douzhan's divine thoughts and expelled!

And he knew very well that Mr. Bai Shu had just achieved the status of a god, and now there was no apostle under Douzhan's command... so the answer was obvious.

He murmured: "There...are no apostles here."

Chu Ling said: "Since there are no apostles here, there is only one possibility left. Summoning the 'Heaven Sheath' was done by God."

"..."

Gu Shen fell into silence.

"Since this is what God has done, do you still need to forcefully explore it now?"

Chu Ling asked calmly: "This is not a puzzle that you can solve, at least, not yet."

"Well-founded and convincing."

Gu Shen sighed. This time he came to Linglingyao because he wanted to find Chu Ling to solve his doubts.

Finally, the purpose of clearing up doubts was indeed achieved.

The source code is really awesome.

The perspective of solving problems is different from ordinary people.

As long as you don't think about the problem, the problem will no longer exist...

But thinking about it carefully, Chu Ling was right. This was beyond the scope of his ability. No matter how much he thought about it, it was meaningless. If this was really something done by "gods", then Dongzhou should be responsible for it. The tallest one takes care of it.

Put aside these details.

The "secondary explosion" of the sky sheath still made Gu Shen have some doubts in his heart.

For such a major incident, the top executives in Nagano, such as the heads of the five families, had no urge to investigate the case. They did not even dispatch an "investigation team."

All everyone did was patch things up again.

Except for himself, no one seems to be investigating the root cause.

...

...

The next three days were spent in the Tundra Prison in total peace.

Gu Shen retreated in his room, patiently waiting for Mr. Gu's "combat instructions" and the news of the Tomb Ghost's awakening... Although this place did not have as much "disordered source material" as the Shenci Mountain, which could be absorbed by the Blazing Fire, It is also a good place for spiritual practice.

After entering the eighth level of the deep sea.

Gu Shen has been thinking about his next step and how to move forward.

The ability of "Fire of Vitality" is extremely unnatural.

For now.

It can bring order to chaos and give life to dead things. Even if the "Black Flower of the Temple" is completely out of order, the fire of life can revive it and feed it back to oneself. Even some simple minor injuries do not need to be treated by the Holy Light Sealed Artifact. It heals quickly.

If only he had understood the "Fire of Life" when he fought with Meng Xiao.

Then the damage received by pulling the 【Extinguished Candle】 bow can be recovered quickly... Of course, the level of strength is not enough, and the internal injuries caused by forcibly activating a powerful weapon higher than the current level will continue to accumulate.

But at least, I can pull 【Candle Extinguishing】 two more times!

Judging from the original situation, if the activation situation is suitable, it is not impossible to shoot Meng Xiao directly!

only......

The stronger the embryo, the greater the price it has to pay for its growth!

In the future, if you want the "fire of vitality" to condense into a field of great success, you must have a very solid foundation... Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. This step is not an epiphany, it can be made up for by a sudden inspiration.

On the eighth level of the deep sea, the "realm embryo" was condensed.

The center of Gu Shen's eyebrows is the source of the blazing fire. Starting from the source, the fire of vitality needs to cover the whole body first and then be released outwards...

There is another possibility.

He even lost his "personality". When the memory dispersed like running water, this person returned to his original state. Of course he would not be sad. He would not have any emotions, only confusion.

Gu Shen stretched out a hand.

The Tsuka ghost did not hide.

Gu Shen's palm was pressed on his forehead, and the blazing fire was quietly immersed in it... Zhonggui's spiritual sea was empty, just like the result of the last exploration.

It turned out that fate had given him a reminder before. This guy had lost not only his extraordinary abilities but also his most precious memories due to the heavy damage from the "Sky Sheath".

He didn't lie.

He doesn't remember anything.

Gu Shen explained patiently: "Your name is 'Xing Yun', your nickname is 'Zhonggui', and you are currently recovering at the temporary base of the 'Gu Family'. My surname is Gu, and my name is Gu Shen. Those people just now are Night watchmen, they are responsible for protecting your safety."

This short sentence contains a lot of information for a person with amnesia.

Tsukasa was stunned for a long time.

He thought for a long time, pointed to himself, and asked in a daze: "I... am healing?"

"Not long ago, you encountered an accident." Gu Shen said: "You are still covered with bandages in many places on your body... It is best not to get out of bed without the doctor's permission."

Tsukauki looked down at himself.

Although the fragments of the sky sheath that hit him were small and not fatal, they still pierced many places on his body. Now these "stone fragments" have been cleaned up, and his body is wrapped in dozens of bandages, large and small. .

Fortunately for Gu Shen, Zhonggui still remembered some things in his mind.

At least, he didn't ask himself what a "bandage" was.

"Am I...an important person?"

Tsukauki became nervous, "You, you...there are so many people out there protecting me?"

"That's right." Gu Shen smiled and said, "You are a very powerful 'translator'..."

"Translator......"

Tsukauki knew the meaning of this word. This was not a powerful position. He breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled: "It seems that I am not a really important person..."

"You seem happy?" Gu Shen was a little surprised. After this guy lost his memory, his brain circuit seemed to be different.

"yes......"

Tsukauki covered his head, his voice hoarse and intermittent: "I can't remember anything clearly, I just remember... I seemed to have hurt someone. If I am a very important person, the current situation must be very bad."

If you lose your memory.

He would rather be a bastard fish.

The world would still function without him.

"..."

Gu Shen's eyes became complicated. This was the first time he had seen such a tomb ghost.

He stood up and looked meaningfully at the poor patient.

After getting up and going outside, Gu Shen dialed Gu Nanfeng's communicator.

"Xiao Gu, I heard that the ghost of the tomb has woken up. How is he doing?"

Before Gu Shen could speak, Gu Nanfeng asked with concern.

After Tsukauki woke up, the night watchman at the temporary base immediately reported the situation to him.

"He's not in a good condition..."

Gu Shen stood outside the window, with heavy snow falling. He looked back at the skinny patient in the room who looked bewildered. His eyes met for a moment, then he immediately looked back and sighed softly: "He has lost his memory."

"Amnesia...may be a side effect of the 'Heavenly Sheath'."

Gu Nanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "As long as everything is fine, as long as you wake up, it will be better than anything else."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"But can you estimate the time it will take for him to recover?"

Gu Nanfeng paused for a moment and said with emotion: "Amnesia... it's really a headache."

Many people in the Gu family hope that the Tomb Demon can decipher the "ancient text" in the core area of ​​the Sky Sheath... Especially after the second explosion, this "Sword of Stone" has caused a lot of controversy in the deep water area.

Many people believe that by deciphering the ancient text at the bottom of the sky sheath, they will have a chance to figure out the true origin of this "extraterrestrial object".

Maybe, this is really the will left behind by the "old world"!

A traveler is just an "activator"!

Now that Tsukauki has lost his memory, the task of deciphering the ancient text of the Sky Sheath will be postponed.

"I can't estimate." Gu Shen said frankly: "He may lose his memory for a long time, and the time for Tianshe's deciphering needs to be extended further."

"All right."

Gu Nanfeng accepted the status quo. He paused and reminded: "The timing of your call is just right. The old man has completed the task assignment. The task of encircling and suppressing criminals has just been advanced. Some 'young leaders' have already started taking action. About you The task will be sent to the mailbox soon. If nothing else, we will meet soon."

"receive."

After hanging up the call, Gu Shen returned to the house.

Now that the Tsuka ghost has woken up and confirmed his safety, there is no need for him to stay any longer... In this situation, what he wanted to say is meaningless.

Gu Shen was ready to say goodbye and leave.

"That...Xiao Gu?"

The voice of Tsuka Oni made him pause.

This guy called out a familiar name, but it wasn't because he had recovered his memory, it was just because the name was so close.

At this moment, he was holding the sheets, a little shy, and asked nervously: "You just went out to make a phone call, I heard some, you seemed to be chatting with a very powerful big shot, you... are not trying to drive me away?"

Because of amnesia, it is completely worthless.

If you are not an important person, you will not delay things.

But if you are not an important person, you will probably be kicked out!

"..."

Gu Shen looked at the cautious look on Zhonggui's face and couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart.

Although this guy has lost his memory, the blood flowing in his bones is still the same.

Instinct is still as vigilant as ever.

"Just live well, don't worry too much, just take care of yourself three times a day."

He patted Tsukauki on the shoulder and said softly: "People here are very..."

Halfway through, Gu Shen's words stopped abruptly.

At this moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong!

Before he entered the house, he had clearly deliberately arranged the ancient text formations in the Qingzhong Cemetery. The only purpose of these formations was to block sound and create a quiet environment.

So how did this guy hear the sound of making a phone call when he went out just now?

His expression immediately became serious, and he frowned and asked, "Did you just say that you heard my call outside?"

"yes......"

Zhonggui looked innocent, and when he saw Gu Shen's expression, he stepped back nervously.

"Can't blame me."

He pointed in the direction where the "ancient text formations" were suspended outside the door, and said in a very soft voice: "If you improve the words you wrote down earlier... then the 'sound shielding' effect will be better, then Then I probably won’t be able to hear you very well.”

This sentence made Gu Shen's expression become extremely complicated.

He quickly took out an ancient drawing from his arms and waved it in front of the ghost.

"Do you understand?"

Tsukauki blinked and whispered, "You understand... right?"

Ancient prose can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

Therefore, the communication between Gu Shen and Zhong Gui could only be carried out in this slightly thin way, because even if Zhong Gui understood it, he could not say it... Then Gu Shen took out another invalid one that smeared his own spirit. The "text" on the waste paper was scrawled by him at will. He is also a "student" who has practiced thousands of ancient inscriptions. This inscription looks like ancient inscriptions, but in fact it has no meaning.

He asked again: "What about now, do you understand?"

"I can't understand." Tsukauki became nervous again and asked, "Should I understand this word?"

"You don't have to worry about that. It doesn't matter whether you should understand it or not. You just need to tell the truth and express your true inner feelings." Gu Shen guided carefully, tested carefully, and asked: "When you see this drawing, do you see it?" What does it look like?"

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Tsukasa was silent for several seconds.

After Gu Shen nodded.

He scratched his head and answered very frankly, but subconsciously said the usual words that he had subconsciously used before: "I look like... relying on the defense."

"..."

Gu Shen was silent.

He took out a few more ancient drawings, mixed them with his ghost drawing talismans, and conducted some tests.

After the test is over.

He came outside the house again, dialed the communicator, and said to Gu Nanfeng over there: "The latest news, one good news and one bad news."

"Listen to the bad ones first."

"Bad news, Tsukauki has indeed lost his memory, and I don't know how long it will take to recover."

"What's the good news?"

"The good news is that he hasn't completely lost his memory... It seems that this guy only has information related to the 'Ancient Wen' left in his head."
